Wtf is going on i'm so angry. :twisted:
Been cycling for a while and have had no problems whatsoever with pumping a tyre.
Decided to buy some deep wheels and as soon as I pumped it up, i got a pop sound. Checked the tube and there's a small pump. Did it again and another flat. Did it 5 times!! Wasted so much money
Any help please

Standard stuff to check. Rim tape installed if needed? Sharp edges anywhere on the rim? Tyre got anything stuck in it? (Run fingers around the inside checking). See if the tubes are puncturing in the same place? Even if you haven't even got to riding it then you should be able to tell. Are you pinching the tubes when putting them in, using tyre levers to get the tyre on and pinching the tube etc etc?
Your post doesn't really describe what's happening, can you be clearer as to the chain of events? It would help.
With punctures it's not rocket science.
When you say you've wasted so much money, well, that's deep sections for you

Every time you put a new tyre on put some new rim tape on. Belt and braces.0
